All the movement, all the breath, all the gentle effort in an asana class—it’s not about perfecting the poses.

It’s about preparing the body and nervous system to truly rest.

Shavasana isn’t just the end of class—it’s the point of it.
It’s the space where we soften, where integration happens, where we simply are.

You don’t have to earn rest.
It is a basic human need.

11/03/2025

Join us every Thursday at 6:30 PM for a 60-minute in-person session where we move our bodies from a place of enquiry and curiosity. Our classes blend Yoga Asana, Somatic Movement and Pranayama Breathwork, with occasional Mantra and Mudra practices.

✨Inclusive Space: We welcome individuals of all genders, backgrounds, sexualities, castes and cultures.

Welcome to 2025

Happy New Year if you follow a weird calendar that has nothing to do with the moons and the planet we live on!

But still here we are at a new calendar and maybe you have the ‘new year, new …!’ vibe going on!

Sometimes this comes with negative self talk and doubt that you are not enough of this
Or you need to be more of that
and if only I could get to etc etc

I’m not about to tell you not to strive for something you desire or that you shouldn’t take steps to move towards something that is important to you!

But I am sharing this as a reminder to myself as-well as a reminder to you, that you are enough just as you are!
You don’t need to change anything drastic about your devine self and certainly nothing to do with your appearance!
Your are magic 👌🏼
Please don’t be in a rush to be someone else!
You are enough as you are!

Be you, no one else could do it better!

May 2025 bring you gorgeous days, and brilliant day dreams!

Dark Moon is a special time to pause, reflect and release what doesn’t serve before the New Moon tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will need this new found space to set an intention for the cycle ahead!

The moon provides a supportive cycle for transformation and growth!

I have been living in deep connection with the moon cycle for years and have found endless benefits not only when life is challenging but also when it is easy.

After many years of tracking my dreams, emotional, physical, and spiritual bodies, daily to the moon, with the incredible calendar, I found the Dark Moon New Moon point of the cycle to be the most pivotal for me!

If you were to ask me what point in the moon cycle not to miss…. I would say this is it!!

I make time in my life to be present in ritual each cycle at Dark Moon New Moon….. And if I miss one, oh wow do I feel it!

The next New Moon Ceremony is on Friday 1st Nov 7pm- online!
A beautiful process of learning and leaning on the supportive power of the moon through ritual, pranayama breathwork, somatics, dance, gentle movement, journaling, art therapy and meditation!

DM me if you have any questions

Would be an honour be in ceremony with you

The PILLARS of Gingko are the foundation of each offering we provide

They are

EMBODIMENT, Accessible embodiment practices

Trauma sensitive and inclusive of everybody exactly as you are, nothing to change, nothing to fix.

We include a wide range of embodiment from breathwork, somatics, dance, mediation, asana, journaling, ritual, ceremony, Mantra and Mudra.

Embodiment asks us to be present within our body, mind and spirit. Engaging in experience, feeling and action. With a trauma sensitive approach we understand this isn’t available or safe to everyone in every moment and this is perfectly ok. All our offerings are scaffolded and invitational. We support you to practice in a way what feels best for you.

YOGIC BREATHWORK, known as PRANAYAMA.

Breathing is the only autonomic process our body does which was can consciously control. Majority of us are not breathing the way our bodies are deigned to.

Pranayama is where we consciously adjust the breath to improve physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing

NATURAL CYCLES, returning to the wisdom of nature and the natural cycles of the earth.

The Day, The seasons, The moon/ or menstrual cycle, and the shortest of them all, our breath. While these may not be an obvious parts of a session, they have been deeply considered in the design of the session

EMBODIED SOCIAL CHANGE- EQUITY

We strongly believe our offerings should be accessible to everybody. As equity is integral to embodied social change we offer tiered pricing for many of our offerings. You will often find 3 different price options. Previously these tiers were called Full Waged, Part waged, Unwaged. I now come to realise that peoples form of employment only takes into account one part of how resourced they may be.

The tiers are now called Sustainer, Supported and Community. We encourage you to select the option which best suits your situation.

For now, these are the pillars of Gingko

In the future these may change. Nothing is stagnant, the cycles are always at play. I am forever learning, and unlearning from the oppressive systems which don’t serve us.
